Photo #: NH 93833 USS United States (CVA-58) Preliminary design model undergoing seakeeping tests at the David Taylor Model Basin, Carderock, Maryland, circa 1947. This is an early version of the CVA-58 design, without catapult sponsons. Note the folding smokestacks in the "up" position and large amount of water splashed out around the bow. Aircraft models on the flight deck appear to represent a notional heavy attack bomber. Copied from a photograph in File F-3, B-36 Carrier Charactoristics File in the records of OP-23, held by the Operational Archives Branch, Naval Historical Center, 1982.
